Ahh can't believe I forgot that one! One of my favorite movies. I missed out on that movie as a kid because of my crazy Christian parents 🙁

Skeletons and Christmas!!!Blasphemy!!!

This is one of the best ones ever:

Also, I feel that Nino Rota is the all-time greatest...most prolific scorer for films. Awesome, awesome stuff

(La Strada and Godfather being 2 of his greatest/most recognized, probably)

That's what I was thinking, so my favourite soundtrack is still Top Gun.

Favourite score would be Requiem, or Empire Strikes Back.

 

[Flipped Gazelle]

I'm definitely a John Williams and Hans Zimmer fan.

Speaking of John Williams...

I'm used to hearing soundtrack instead of score these days so I figured I should just title the thread soundtrack. I'll edit the title for accuracy anyway 😎

Batman Begins
The Rock

Obviously I like Hans Zimmer...

Schindler's List Main Theme

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMx2SKIRkw4

Not a big fan of Itzhak Perlman when he is playing classical music. A little too sweet. But he did not do that with this so it is fine.


Atonement Main Theme

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ui6_y6R51io

and I don't know what this one is called.

The second Atonement song you posted is X-Ray Dog - The Vision.

I too enjoy the Schindler's List main theme. Perlman is amazing. My cousin who plays the viola has attended his Music Program in Shelter Island for a couple of years now and has had the opportunity to perform with him on several occasions.
